Ocata Series Release Notes

Operators now have a choice in the type of notification payload content that Designate can emit via oslo.messaging’s Notifier.
The default plugin is configured to emit the same information that the notifications previous to this patch emitted. So there is no functional change.
Operators can write their own notification plugins that exist in designate/notifications.py.
An “audit” plugin is included. This plugin emits object changes, if they exist, along with zone ids, zone/recordset names.
A plugin can define multiple payloads from a single notification to be emitted at once, if desirable.
The selection of a plugin is defined by python entrypoints (for driver availability) and the new “notification_plugin” option in the “DEFAULT” config section.
